You need not be an expert in Excel, but it does come in handy to be proficient in Excel as it is estimated that 80% of data scientist's time is spent cleaning and preparing data - which becomes a cakewalk with Excel.
You can consider Excel more or less as the foundation to Power BI.
Besides all technical reasons, It is everywhere - Power BI is a leader in Gartner's Magic Quadrant for Analytics and Business Intelligence Platforms.
There is a reason it's called "Power" BI - An incredibly powerful tool for both modeling and visualizing data. It has the same base as Power Query.
As an Analyst, you would find Microsoft Power BI to be a fantastic tool that can handle most of the analytics pipeline. It goes from ingesting and modeling data to presenting it as dashboards and sharing the dashboards with the people who care about them.
DAX is used in several Microsoft Products such as Microsoft Power BI, Microsoft Analysis Services and Microsoft Power Pivot for Excel. These products all share the same internal engine, called Tabular/Vertipaq (xVelocity before).
With DAX you have the ability to include business logic in calculations in order to enrich your business intelligence models.
You need to perform data transformations in the Query Editor that cannot be done by simply using the User Interface.
To perform complex operations on data in the Power Query Editor
The easiest way to create a data model in Power BI and Power Pivot is to gather the data "as is" from a data source, define relationships, and then start designing reports. But this approach raises several issues when you have too many tables, or different levels of granularity.
Benefits of a proper data model with power pivot includes:
Businesses receive data from outside of their systems and need to perform data-quality routines to standardize and clean the data before loading it into their systems.
SSIS can handle most data situations from heterogeneous databases or flat files. This is commonly the case when different areas of the business use different standards and formats for the information. Sometimes the data formats are different because the platforms from which they originate differ from the intended destination.
In these cases, SSIS includes a rich set of data-transformation tasks to perform a wide range of data-cleaning, converting, and enriching functions. You can replace values or get descriptions from code values by using exact or fuzzy lookups within SSIS. Identifying records that may be duplicates by using SSIS grouping transformations helps to successfully remove them before loading to the destination.
MS-SQL is a recommended skill while working with Power BI. You can say it is one of the basic building block if you are looking forward to work full-time with BI.
It offers you more flexibility to implement complication logic which otherwise requires multiple steps inside Power BI model. Also, if you're using direct query mode then you need to have a strong knowledge on SQL as almost all processing happens at the source systems else you would restrict yourself to only limited modeling and designing visualizations.
Important things MS-SQL can help you with
Why to have MS-SQL as Data warehouse?
While power query could do the major transformations - required for the reporting purpose, it is not advisable and recommended to access the production database for reporting requirements. ETL data from multiple data sources into your data warehouse and then load it to your BI via T-SQL is the best practice.
Mastering SSAS Tabular is pivotal for robust Business Intelligence solutions, especially when working extensively with tools like Power BI. It serves as a foundational skill, empowering full-time BI practitioners with essential capabilities.
Enhanced Flexibility:
SSAS Tabular offers unparalleled flexibility in implementing complex logic, enabling streamlined workflows that might otherwise demand convoluted steps within Power BI models. Particularly in direct query mode, a strong grasp of SSAS Tabular empowers you to optimize processing at the source system, expanding modeling and visualization design possibilities.
The Role of SSAS Tabular in Data Warehousing:
Utilizing SSAS Tabular as a data warehouse reinforces best practices in Business Intelligence. While Power Query handles significant transformations, relying on a production database for reporting is not recommended. Leveraging SSAS Tabular, ETL processes are streamlined, allowing data to be sourced from multiple origins and efficiently loaded into your BI via T-SQL, ensuring data integrity and optimal reporting performance.
Primary objective of learning VBA is to collect data from multiple and ad-hoc sources before uploading it to the SQL for reporting purpose.
The whole purpose of this section is to arrive at the best possible BI reporting solution for existing business problems instead of just performing a task.

This class was extremely helpful in my knowledge and growth in these database, analysis and reporting tools. I really enjoyed the hands-on approach and got lots of “goodies” out of all the classes. Your approach, repetitiveness and patience is much appreciated and sincerely helped me learn how to accomplish these important tasks. Doing these activities again and again embedded these processes into my routines while I began strategizing how to best utilize these tools in my company’s reporting and analyses. I’d be happy to consider additional classes that you offer on related, important topics to continue enhancing my skills. Thank you very much for your teaching and training methods. I am also very grateful that you provided the daily sample dashboards, instruction steps and how-to descriptions.

This Power BI course was an exceptional training experience. It was very fast paced -- necessary as it covered Power Pivots, Power Query, DAX, Power BI, and SQL. Sami ran the training smoothly, staying after to help individuals with questions. We also are able to schedule up to two 30-minute sessions after the end of the course for guidance on projects. Highly recommend!

This course was excellent. Sami had a systematic approach to the course curriculum which I feel is key to most if not all learning experiences. He was very knowledgeable and very quick with troubleshooting and helping support when we had any challenges with our work. I am definitely going to take more courses from Excelgoodies. If you are an IT professional or require Data Analytics for your job, this is a great course and I highly recommend it. I think my only critique is that I would have like to have more time devoted to the database side of the class, but that is just a personal preference.
